The aftermath of the shooting was filmed by Philando's girlfriend, Diamond Reynolds, who posted it online, reports the Star Tribune. The officer shot Castile five times after Castile said he was carrying a gun. Castile's video and "f**k the police" stance has been applauded by many across social media and support has been rallying around the family in the wake of Yanez's acquittal. He said he was protesting police brutality, racial injustice and the oppression of people of color in the United States.

Castile's furious mother Valerie Castile gave a rousing speech outside the Ramsey County Courthouse in response to the verdict, calling her son's death a murder while saying: 'I hope (Yanez) dies tonight!'
